    Whatever description KAC is currently using for the NT4 on their website, needs to be scrapped and replaced with this one!

    That's a good point mtdawg, Marines would most definitely lose those end caps lol.

    The SOCOM SOUM for NT4s basically states that if you have an end-cap strike, the armorer is to do an inspection and then file the protruding flap flat, simply to avoid a cut hazard.
    I have seen NT4s with baffle strikes that nobody even noticed for thousands of rounds.
    I have seen NT4s used to smash out windows, break through fences, and driven into the ocular socket of non-compliant enclosure occupants to elicit the desired level of passivity, with little more wear than some work KG Kote and chunks of skin and hair.
    I've seen them shot half full of sea water, until they glowed like a 2-bit rave dancer, and then cooled off in a mud puddle.

    It ain't cool anymore. It ain't sexy anymore. But if you're going to give a suppressor to a Marine, nothing less than an NT4 is worthy of their abuse. There are a bunch of good cans out there today, and the NT4 is a bit of a dinosaur, but it's a f***ing T-Rex hombre.
    Yeah, I work at KAC. But I was a Jarhead first, and I came here for a reason, and it wasn't for the beach or the pay.

    Oh, and make sure you wipe off those chunks before going to Boogytown, the smell is not pleasant.
    Well said, Jack!

    I cannot argue with that. I just can't.

    Uh. Not quite 100% sure they wouldn't. Especially if benefits and a paycheck are involved.

    Not to throw a huge sidetrack, but mini high jack. What cans have been used in any volume in the military. It seems KAC, Surefire and AAC?. Correct me if I'm wrong. But what is the correct answer.

    I came across a beat Gemtech G5 (NSN: 1005-01-569-8193) that sounded like getting stabbed in the ear with a pencil.

    It was really long too. I didn't even want it.

    So when is the "slightly used" sale going to happen? 😆 I would grab a factory re-furbed NT4 real quick like.
